Womens sizes are typically two full sizes smaller than mens sizes. So, a womens size 8.5 would be comparable to a mens size 6.5.
However, womens feet are narrower than mens. So the width is not comparable. If a woman wears a size 8.5 meduim (meaning, they have a B, or meduim, width foot), then they would need a mens size 6.5 narrow, or A/B, width.

Not all shoe brands are the same, but for New Balance shoes, which is a good standard of measure: If you wear a women's size 10 medium (10 B), then your men's size is usual…ly going to be an 8.5 narrow (8.5 B), because the men's and women's scales are offset by 1.5 sizes and by 1 width deviation. A women's medium width is normally "B", while a men's medium width is a "D". women's: 4A (X-narrow) - 2A (narrow) - B (medium) - D (wide) - 2E (X-wide) - 4E (XX-wide) men's: 2A (X-narrow) - B (narrow) - D (medium) - 2E (wide) - 4E (X-wide) - 6E (XX-wide) So if you want to buy a men's shoe in size 8.5, you may want to choose the men's narrow (B) width if it is available. These numbers and letters correspond to the sizing standards of the Brannock foot measuring device.

As a general rule, converting men's to women's shoe sizes is fairly simple - you would subtract two sizes from your U.S. women's size to find the appropriate size in U.S. men'…s shoes. For example, if you wear a size 9 in U.S. women's shoes - you would most likely take a size 7 in U.S. men's.
